Sickness
Sickness — your own or your family's — often touches trouble and real illness entering, with discord finding a way in too. The dream may ask where you fear something breaking the harmony of your household, and whether the pale, ailing figure you're seeing is a warning to take unusual care of those whose wellbeing holds your home together.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sickness, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of sickness, is a sign of trouble and real sickness in your family. Discord is sure to find entrance also.
To dream of your own sickness, is a warning to be unusually cautious of your person.
To see any of your family pale and sick, foretells that some event will break unexpectedly upon your harmonious hearthstone. Sickness is usually attendant upon this dream.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream you have had a long sickness, and are recovering, it foretells bad luck and difficulties: should you imagine that you are sick and are going to die, the omen is the reverse, for some good fortune awaits you: if a girl dreams that she is sick abed, and her lover visits her, it foretells a smooth courtship and happy marriage.
